Two days later, Ning Cheng found Carole.
Carole was preparing to close her cave when she didn’t expect Ning Cheng to come looking for her. She joyfully welcomed Ning Cheng into her cave and hurriedly asked, “Senior Brother Ning Cheng, did Master Sikou Valley solve your problem?”
Ning Cheng said, “Master Sikou Valley is broad-minded, I have benefited greatly. I have come to tell Senior Sister that I intend to leave the Peaceful Valley and look for a way out ……”
“You must not do that, there are many people who have entered the Peaceful Valley who are much stronger than us. But nine out of ten of them have fallen in the Land of Broken Rules in order to find a way out.” Hearing Ning Cheng say that he wanted to go out, Karoel hurriedly advised.
She guessed that Ning Cheng also wanted to invite him to be his companion, and she definitely could not go out.
Ning Cheng smiled, “Senior Sister Carolee you don’t need to worry, I am 60% sure that I can go out because I have obtained a jade slip of a map to go out, I just plan to be alone ……”
This time, Karol interrupted Ning Cheng once again, “Senior Brother Ning Cheng, the map jade slip has also appeared in the Peaceful Valley more than once, none of them are real map jade slips, many of them are just tigers and snakes, just to cheat for divine crystals. My daoist partner is still in seclusion in the valley, so I can’t go with you either. In fact, I also advise you not to leave in the end, the chances of getting out are just too slim.”
In fact, Ning Cheng did not come here to ask Karoel to leave with him, he still had to find a place in the Land of Broken Rules to retreat and comprehend the No Rule divine Ability, so naturally he did not want to go with Karoel. It was just that he hadn’t thought that Karol had a daoist couple, but thinking about it, in a place like the Peaceful Valley, if one didn’t have a daoist couple, one’s life would indeed be extremely boring.
Ning Cheng took out a jade slip plug and a token and gave it to Karoel, “Senior Sister Karoel, this map jade slip should be very reliable, in the future if you and your daoist couple want to go out, you can use this map jade slip. I have to go now, goodbye.”
Seeing that Ning Cheng was determined to leave, Carole could not persuade her, so she could only send her to the entrance of the Peaceful Valley. Not only did Ning Cheng leave her a map jade slip, the unused Dao Listening Tablet was also given to her.
……
It was the ninth day after Ning Cheng had left the Peaceful Valley. Ning Cheng once again found the direction on the jade slip map, which made him feel confident that as long as he followed this map, one day, he would be able to walk out.
What reassured Ning Cheng even more was that Barbarian Huishan had not chased after him. It looked like the barbarians knew that they could not do anything to him even if they chased him out, so instead of doing so, it would be better for him to feel the Ruleless divine Ability in the Peaceful Valley.
After finding the direction, Ning Cheng did not continue to rush, he dug a cave within a valley and prepared to sense the Ruleless Divine Aptitude.
Carole had said that in the Land of Broken Rules, if one was not careful, one would be bound by the sudden descending Rulelessness. Ning Cheng was not very worried about this, he believed that with his current divine sense, he would be able to escape when danger came. Even if he couldn’t get away, he still had the Xuanhuang Pearl to retreat to.
After digging the cave, Ning Cheng did not set up a protective formation, but called out Chasing Ox to guard the spell outside the cave. In a land without rules, without the support of his own laws, even if he had set up a formation, it would still be of limited use.
Chasing Ox did not like to stay in the True Spirit World, preferring to stay outside because this creature liked to be lively. This land of broken rules was not half as lively as it should be, and it simply did not want to stay outside.
However, after Ning Cheng had closed down, there was no more movement. It could only honestly guard outside, and at most, when Ning Cheng woke up, it would give him some credit.
Ning Cheng did not expect him to be able to comprehend the Ruleless Divine Ability without using the Ahimsa Ruleless Fruit. Even though he cultivated Xuanhuang Wu Zexue and was far more capable of comprehending than the average person, he would not have expected to be more powerful than a strong person like Lord Sikou Valley.
The colour of the Aghan Ruleless Fruit was an extremely pale grey, the Land of Broken Rules itself took on a grey colour, and the Aghan Ruleless Fruit was not at all obvious when placed in the Land of Broken Rules. Rather, it was the faint ripples on the fruit that gave off an aura of mysterious dao rhythm.
Ning Cheng could not feel any rule information in these Dao rhyme auras, yet he could feel that after these Dao rhyme auras spread out, a new kind of rule instantly formed around his body. This new rule seemed to be the same as the ordinary rules of heaven and earth, yet it seemed to be completely different. While the Aghan Unruly Fruit itself did not contain any rule aura, faint rules could be created around it because of its aura.
……
Even though it is the land of broken rules and cannot perform the time divine ability, it still cannot stop the flow of time.
As time passed by, the Aghan Ruleless Fruit in Ning Cheng’s hand gradually shrank, and Ning Cheng remained immersed in it, not feeling half of it.
As a month passed, even Chasing Ox, who was outside the cave, could feel the spatial rule fluctuations, but Ning Cheng still did not wake up.
The Chasing Bull was naturally overjoyed at the fact that there were rule fluctuations in the surrounding space. It was about to take out some Constant Element Pills to try cultivating as well, when a sudden burst came from the place where Ning Cheng had closed his cave.
Ning Cheng abruptly opened his eyes at this time, and he raised his hand and blasted out, the weak rules that had just formed around him dissipated without a trace.
“Boom ……” Ning Cheng’s makeshift cave was blasted into pieces by his fist.
“Master, you’ve learned the Ruleless divine Ability?” Chasing Ox hurried over to greet him.
Ning Cheng looked at the Aghan Ruleless Fruit that was only half the size in his hand and said with a sigh, “I got it wrong and wasted half of the fruit. The Aghan Ruleless Fruit is not meant to be used in the Land of Broken Rules, but is more useful in places where there are rules. I always thought that since I wanted to cultivate the ruleless divine ability, it must be in the Land of Broken Rules …… Huh, that’s not right ……”
Before Ning Cheng could finish his sentence, it became clear once again.
His cultivation level and strength were still too low, and what he had to comprehend was completely different from Lord Sikou Valley. The Simcoe Valley Master was trying to find a new rule in the Land of Broken Rules and then coalesce into this rule. For countless years, Lord Sikou Valley had done this and had achieved something.
And he simply did not need to do so, nor was he qualified to do so. All he had to do was to comprehend the Ruleless Divine Aptitude, and when he was fighting his opponent, he made his opponent’s Lawful Divine Aptitude lose its rules, while his could continue, and that would be successful.
Doing so was countless times easier than Master Sikou Gu. In fact, after this month or so of seclusion, he had already achieved something. Earlier, when he had blasted out his fist and completely scattered the rule aura around him due to the Aghan Unruly Fruit, with only his own fist existing, wasn’t this the same as touching the door?
“Let’s go, Chasing Ox, we can go out now.” Ning Cheng laughed and put the remaining half of the Ah Han Ruleless Fruit into the jade box, and directly swung out of the starship.
……
In an ordinary cave in the outer disciples’ residence area of the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond, Yan Ji’s face was somewhat pale as she sat on a futon, and her hands were slightly trembling.
Just now, she had failed again to impact the middle stage of the Life and Death realm, and her meridians were as uncomfortable as if they had opened up, as if the next moment, her entire being would collapse away.
Two lines of tears slid down her white face. Since her training, she had experienced too many hardships and dangers, but she had never shed a tear. And at this moment, she was shedding tears.
She understood her situation, her cultivation career was over. Even if she did not cultivate, her roots would gradually be destroyed, her purple house would gradually wither, and she would slowly grow old in this despair and then fall away.
“No……” Yan Ji shouted in a trembling voice, she was unwilling.
From the beginning to now, she knew best what she had experienced.
She even felt her sea of consciousness trembling right now, she looked powerlessly at the humble cave, she really wasn’t willing to do it.
She was unwilling, it wasn’t that she regretted what she had done. It was resignation that after knowing where Ning Cheng had gone, there was nothing she could do about it.
Her face grew paler and paler, a slight cold sweat seeped out of her forehead, and a vision seemed to present itself before her eyes. She once again saw the rushing and raging Blood River Mountain, and once again saw herself trapped in the Blood River as Ning Cheng came to her rescue on purpose. He risked death to pick her up and rush out of the river of blood, and her face flushed some unhealthy redness ……
When she saw Ning Cheng being swept away by the tumbling river of blood, she did not hesitate to rush over to save Ning Cheng, only to be swept away by the river of blood as well.
She remembered how shocked her senior sister Xiang Zhilan was and even thought she was crazy after she spoke up about going to look for Ning Cheng at the bottom of the Blood River, a place where there was no spiritual energy, no life and where one could easily get lost.
She hadn’t gone mad, she still left the place at the bottom of the Blood River where she could survive and went to look for Ning Cheng alone. And at that time, she did not even know what Ning Cheng’s true appearance was.
An unconscious smile appeared at the corner of Yan Ji’s mouth, one had to do one or two crazy things in one’s life after all. To this day, she felt that was the best choice she had ever made. Later, she realised that it was liking someone, liking someone, it was really simple and really happy.
She could never forget, moreover, the heartache she felt when she saw the ragged, hobbled man at the bottom of the river of blood, followed by an equally dirty, dry-furred, pitiful little dog man.
At that time, she thought he was lost. Instead, he later allowed her and her sister, Zhi Lan, to walk out of the bottom of the river of blood.
When she left the bottom of the Blood River, only to learn that Ning Cheng had not come out with them, she did not hesitate to rush up the Blood River Mountain again, allowing the Blood River to sweep her off her feet. She was not looking for death when she rushed into the Blood River Mountain again, she only had one thought in mind, and that was to find Ning Cheng. She did not want Ning Cheng to be left alone under the Blood River after he had saved her.
From the beginning to the end, she did not regret this matter. And Ning Cheng indeed did not make her regret it, after he saw her again at the bottom of the Blood River, he kept carrying her on his back and tried to find a way to heal her injuries.
He dressed and bathed for her, he had done too much for her. Even when she had lost her mind again, he had taken immense care of her. She felt that she should have done more for him.
The corners of Yan Ji’s mouth slowly blossomed into a smile, being seen by him in her body when she was not sane, but it was a beautiful memory that she had enjoyed the most for many years.
If time could come again, she would definitely say, I want to marry you. It was not because she was too shy to say it, but because she had never had the chance to say it. Unfortunately, there was no way for her time to come again, and her life was about to wither away.
